| 20120158488 | OFFLINE COUNTERFACTUAL ANALYSIS - Counterfactual analysis can be performed “offline”, or “after the fact”, based on data collected during a trial in which random variations are applied to the output of the system whose parameters are to be the subject of the counterfactual analysis. A weighting factor can be derived and applied to data collected during the trial to emphasize that data obtained when the random variations most closely resembled the output that would be expected if counterfactual parameters were utilized to generate the output. If the counterfactual parameters being considered differ too much from the parameters under which the trial was conducted, the offline counterfactual analysis can estimate a direction and magnitude of the change of the system performance, as opposed to deriving a specific expected system performance value. In economic transactions, the random variations can be considered variations in the price paid by another party, thereby enabling derivation of their marginal cost. | 06-21-2012 |

| 20120233384 | METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR ERASING DATA STORED IN NONVOLATILE MEMORY IN LOW POWER APPLICATIONS - The erasing of data stored in a nonvolatile memory is performed using multiple partial erase operations. Each partial erase operation has a time duration that is shorter than the minimum time duration of an erase operation that is needed to reliably erase the data stored in the storage location.

In one example, during a partial erase operation, a voltage is applied to a memory storage transistor to remove some, but not necessarily all, of the charge stored on a charge storage layer of the transistor. Following multiple partial erase operations, sufficient charge is removed from the charge storage layer to ensure reliable data erasure. | 09-13-2012 |

| 20110087683 | IMPLEMENTATION OF A SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK/DATA ARK SYSTEM - A software framework architecture that allows for the migration of data from legacy systems to a DataArk database. The DataArk database acts as a central storage component for disparate data sets. Data is extracted from the legacy systems, transformed into a text format and then mapped into the DataArk database. Users are then able to access the DataArk database as they would access the legacy systems, looking up individual patient accounting detail, clinical detail, employee records, etc. Users are also able to edit and manage the data in the DataArk database. The legacy systems are then decommissioned. Further, the DataArk database is configured for use by establishing user access, permitted functions and permitted views. A system administrator establishes user profiles that specify which functions and screens a user may access. Once users are logged-in the system, users may perform searches on the data to which they have been given access. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20090085733 | Tire pressure, speed and acceleration monitoring system and method - The tire pressure, speed and acceleration monitoring system of the present invention has a transducer mounted to the wheel of a motor vehicle and a controller mounted to a non-rotating part of the vehicle. The transducer is passive and receives its power from an interrogation signal from the controller. The transducer replies with a pressure signal. The tire pressure may be frequency encoded. This is accomplished by having a resonant circuit whose resonant frequency depends on the tire pressure. Speed and acceleration are calculated by determining when the transducer passes the receiver of the controller. Since the range of the transducer is very limited, the transducer will only respond to an interrogation signal when the transducer is next to the controller receiver. The transducer has a tire pressure fill valve. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20080272657 | User Selectable Pin for Connection of an Internal Regulator to an External Filter/Stabilization Capacitor and Prevention of a Current Surge Therebetween - An integrated circuit device provides a choice of external pins (connections) that may be user selectable for coupling an external filter/stabilization capacitor to an internal voltage regulator. However, connecting the output of a internal voltage regulator to an uncharged external filter/stabilization capacitor (or to a capacitor charged to a different voltage level than the internal regulation voltage) through a low impedance path can cause the regulator output voltage to sag/spike if the internal voltage regulator tries to charge/discharge the capacitor up/down to equilibrium with the regulator output voltage. To minimize this potential sag/spike, the voltage on the external filter/stabilization capacitor may be adjusted in a controlled manner to substantially the same voltage as the voltage on the output of the internal voltage regulator, and then the internal voltage regulator is operationally coupled through a low impedance to the external regulator filter/stabilization capacitor. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080273391 | Regulator Bypass Start-Up in an Integrated Circuit Device - An internal voltage regulator in an integrated circuit device is always active upon initial start-up and/or power-on-reset operations. The internal voltage regulator protects the low voltage core logic circuits of the integrated circuit device from excessively high voltages that may be present in a particular application. In addition, nonvolatile memory may be part of and operational with the low voltage core logic circuits for storing device operating parameters. Therefore, the internal voltage regulator also protects the low voltage nonvolatile memory from excessive high voltages. Once the integrated circuit device has stabilized and all logic circuits therein are fully function, a bit(s) in the nonvolatile memory may be read to determine if the internal voltage regulator should remain active, e.g., how power operation with a high voltage source, or be placed into a bypass mode for low power operation when the integrated circuit device is powered by a low voltage. | 11-06-2008 |
